The GOSH Bioethics Podcast returns for its third series, with new episodes released fortnightly. Join your podcast host Dr Joe Brierley in conversation with leading experts and contributors to the field of paediatric bioethics. These podcasts explore the ethical, legal, and social questions shaping clinical practice. After occasional episodes, the first series of this podcast aired in started in March 2021 on our sister platform GOSHpods. You can listen to upcoming and previous episodes as well as other GOSHpods on your preferred podcast platform.   Having caught up with Dr Fiona Miles a Paediatric Intensivist at Auckland’s Starship Hospital at a recent PICU conference, and having trained together at GOSH many many years ago, Joe persuaded Fiona to come on the podcast to discuss her role in the ethics team at Starship. Particularly the fascinating use of Māori ethical perspectives in a contemporary children’s hospital. This nicely illustrates how cultural frameworks shape clinical decision-making.
